- DDDavidJun 27, 20261.0This is a water park.... designed for kids... yet 4 out of 5 days we stayed here they had western egg white eggs. The pancake machine has been broken also. The breakfast has been horrid. Now the pool itself.... they are closed from 3 to 4 pm that is all. Yet through out the day they close slides and stuff for now reason. The pool has mold and so do the tables. Bathrooms look uncleaned for awhile. The rolms themselves are okay. The water pressure is very weak. Pillows are worn out. Tvs are tiny and outdated. Overall a bad experience id save your money and go elsewhere.
- SCSean CJun 18, 20265.0Fantastic place for a family with young kids. Shoutout to Ian on staff, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great and our kids LOVED the waterpark which is a perfect size for lots of fun without overwhelm. Highly recommend.
- MCMike ClarkeJun 12, 20265.0Been coming up here for probably more than 15 years. Kids are now older but we still love it here and some of the staff is also still here. We absolutely love this place. No complaints from us!
- MSMarlee SchmidtMay 17, 20265.0I think it was awesome I love that they had a kittie playplace I also liked the breakfast over all the room is also pretty nice we thought the Wi-Fi was a camera bc it was flashing✌😂✌
- DHDerek HansonMay 11, 20262.0Great location. Friendly staff. Water park was great for what it was. I enjoyed the stay but feel like the place is due for a remodel. TV was tiny, no usb charging. The water park has basketball hoops with the rim barely connected to what amounts to a wooden fence backboard and some of the features on the lazy river not working (dump buckets). Comfy bed and great pillows!
